It’s time we changed our perception about “A hero”. From the far-fetched idea let us give this term a more realistic meaning. Let us make being “A hero” a more achievable thing. Let us try and find the heroes in our real life.

There are many heroes in our life who go unnoticed.

~From the hardworking sweeper to the dedicated hawker who tries to sell his wares.

~From the persevering student who is studying to get in a good college on merit so as to save his parents from paying donation to the student who refrains to succumb to peer pressure.

~From the housewife who sacrifices her ambitions for her family to the woman who juggles between her career and home effectively.

~From the father who single handledly brings up his child to the father who sticks to his integrity inspite of money problems.

Hero is about making the right decisions when you have the authority and circumstances that compel you to choose otherwise.
